Life happens
Shit happens
Crap happens
Get the hell over it
And move on

Sometimes bad things happen
Sometimes crappy things happen
Sometimes shitty things happen
In the end you cannot change the past
So accept it, suck it up and move the fuck on

It might not be your fault
Or her fault
Or my fault
Or even his fault
But fault doesn't matter, deal with it

I don't mean to sound like a bitch
But does it truly matter whose fault it is?
Can it be taken back? Or does it change the outcome?
Does it matter why in the long run?
It happened, with or without your approval, so deal

Deal with what you have
Try to make tomorrow better
For you and everyone else around you
That is all you can do
Unless you like misery, then stew in the mess by yourself

[PoeticWitch]

The bed
A sacred place
Of comfort
Of love
Of safety

While we sleep
We battle for the covers
Elbows in the ears
Me sawing logs so loud
That the neighbors complain

You poke me to shut me up
I steal the covers because I am freezing
I hit you with a pillow for the offending elbow
But as I whimper and cry
You wrap your arms around me to comfort me from my nightmare

In the wee hours of the morning
You shower me with kisses
Whispering sweet nothings in my ear
As I snuggle closer to you
Sharing the blankets as I share my love

Even though there might be a battle
In this very bed at night
When the morning comes
Our love will shine through
For you and for me.

[PoeticWitch]

Wandering
Through the corners of my mind
But not really corners
More like our given world
Round and never ending

Some places full of sunshine
And happiness
Like dancing in a field of flowers
And butterflies
That I want to share with all

There are dark places though
Crevices hiding the wickedest of creatures
I stand guard all day and all night
To protect the ones I love
To keep the darkness back where it belongs

But always there must be a balance
Between the light and the dark
If there is more of one then the other
A battle of will ensues in my mind
The balance must be kept

Too much happiness
Is fake and hides darkness
All too easily
Too much darkness
Leads to a path of sorrow

In the end
Either more light or more dark
I would be alone
Willing or not
There must always be a balance

Between Light and Dark

[PoeticWitch]

My help forthcoming
But you turn up your nose
And scoff
As if it isn't good enough for you

I don't pretend to know all
I don't think I have all the answers
I know I am not some degreedified professional
But I am trying to help

But that isn't good enough
Maybe living life gives me better answers
I have better credentials than any therapists little piece of paper
Because I have lived life and made similar mistakes already

So don't turn up your nose at me
Don't make that scoffing noise at me
Unplug your ears and listen with an open mind
You might learn everything you need to know

[PoeticWitch]

One step forward
Two steps to the left
Three steps back
Four steps to the right

Are we dancing?
Are we playing a game?
I feel as if I am spinning
Spinning out of control

Is this a game we play?
A dance move we do to get through it?
The complicated game of life
That we have no control of

Lets waltz across the floor
Lets dance as if we know
As if we know what we are doing
When we really don't

As long as you are at my side
This game, this dance
It isn't so bad as all that
You are my love and you make it all worthwhile

So lets waltz, lets dance
Through this game of life
Always together forever
Me holding you and you holding me.

[PoeticWitch]

Sleep so fleeting
Dreams too close to reality
Cannot tell what is real
What is insanity

I am no prophetess
But sometimes these dreams are eerily real
Of things that have not happen
But of things that could happen

So haunting
So confusing
So real it pulls on my heart strings
I wake feeling lost and alone

In the world of dreams
There are no answers
So easily forthcoming
So patiently I wait

[PoeticWitch]

What is real
What is a dream
I can no longer tell

My brain is failing me
In telling me the difference
Between dream and reality

You would think it would be easy
When I dream of famous people
Like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

But when I am in the midst of the dream
I cannot differentiate
Because it is literally so realistic

No they aren't dreams of sex
They aren't dreams of chasing bad guys with him
Or him chasing me

Just a dream of the terribly mundane
As if my life isn't mundane enough
Yay here we are in Mundania!

Going to lay back down now
Maybe I will wake in some exciting life
I didn't know I had, that explains why I dream mundane.

[PoeticWitch]

Snow is falling
This isn't a winter wonderland
The holidays are over
And so is my fascination with sparkly snow

Counting down the days
Til Spring is here
Counting down the days
To dress and flip flop weather

Negative degree weather
So isn't my thing
When it takes a half hour
To get dressed to just go outside for 5 minutes

Counting down the days
Til Spring rains wash away the snow
Counting down the days
To t-shirt and short weather

Yes Global Warming is here
It's a bitch and most likely it is just going to get worse
But Goddess please
Bless us with a early Spring

Counting down the days
Til the earth and trees Spring forth life
Counting down the days
To warmer weather

[PoeticWitch]

My love
My dear
The light of my life
You make life worth living
Most days that is
Today though
I wish I had a caste iron pan
So I might smack you upside the head with it
Or maybe I should roll up a newspaper
And smack your nose with it
Like I do the dog
Maybe you will pay attention
To the fact that you are irking the shit out of me
I don't want to break up with you
I don't want to kill you
That would be way to messy
It would just be easier to train you
Like the dog that you are

[PoeticWitch]

Cold
Alone
On an island
Of ice and snow

I wonder
And wander
Looking
For warmth

Why am I alone?
Where has everyone gone?
So cold
So alone

I lay down
In the ice and snow
So very tired
No heart to go on

As I close my eyes
Your name passes from my lips
A bare whisper on the wind
One last quiet cry for help

A burst of light
And warmth
Surrounding me
Warming me

You are my sun
My heart
My blood
My life

The ice and snow melts
Life bursts forth all around
The whole world warms
As you wrap your arms around me

Forever my Sun
Forever my Other Half
Forever my Protector
Forever my Love

[PoeticWitch]

Neverending white
Cold in your bones
Feeling as if nothing
Can warm your soul

Old Man Winter has stayed way too long
Father Sun warm Mother
Mother wake from your slumber
So spring might come forth

The longer Old Man Winter stays
The colder and darker our souls become
This is not our natural state
Mother wake up and shower us with love

Mother and Father
Kindle the fire deep within us
Warm the earth and inspire growth
Not just for us humans, but every living creature

Time to send Old Man Winter
To the southern hemisphere for a time
For this is the cycle of life
Come on Grandfather.. time to move on

[PoeticWitch]

It is cold and clear
The sun shining so bright
Almost blinding in the morning light
I think we will need shades to face the day

Lets take a walk
Enjoy the crisp air
Come take a walk with me
This beautiful morning won't last forever

Yes it is true
I would prefer warmer weather
Sundresses and flip flop type of weather
But that is still a bit of time away

So lets make due with what we have
Enjoy the little gifts that the Mother gives
Thank the Father for the warmth of the rays of the sun
And take a walk in the crisp sunny morning

[PoeticWitch]

Never enough
Nothing I say
Nothing I do
Seems to be enough

Why do I feel as if I don't measure up
To some unseen limit
Some invisible level
That I reach for but it is always out of reach

I just want to make everyone happy
But I am so lacking
But I don't know why
I try so hard

I'm just not enough
For you
For them
For everyone

[PoeticWitch]

How did it end up like this?
A blessing or a curse?
On any given day
All a matter of opinion I suppose

So many words flowing
Flowing through my mind
To my fingertips
To create art of a sort

Some might understand
Some might not
Not everything is literal
Some to be taken serious as can be

My words are not always mine
Sometimes the words that spill out
They belong to someone else
I "hear" them through a psychic thread of thought

But please listen to them
Hear them and share them
If they touch you in some way
For they matter to someone if not me then maybe you

A blessing and a curse
I need to share these words
But they are not always mine
But the blessing and the curse is purely mine

[PoeticWitch]

Every night as I lay myself down to sleep
I wrap my mind in a cocoon
As I snooze the night away
I go over everything I learned that day
Like a caterpillar transforming in that cocoon
My brain is changing and growing and expanding
You can almost compare it to a computer
Defragging to make the best of the space it has
My caterpillar brain is becoming a beautiful butterfly
With everything I learn
Day in and day out
Opening my third eye too all the possibilities
I am truly blessed by the Gods and Goddesses
Thank you Lord and Lady
For giving me the capability to learn
Thank you Lord and Lady
For my caterpillar brain

[PoeticWitch]

As I sit here
Listening to the music
Roll over me
Moving me up
Moving me down

I miss you both so
The house is too quiet
Without you
But I know this is for the best
For you two and for us

You will find better families
Who can take care of you
In sickness and in health
Who are more than willing
To play and walk, night and day

Please don't think
We didn't love you
Because we do
More than you will ever know
This is why we want better for you

We had to give you up
So you could have what you truly deserved
Because we couldn't do right by you
Please remember us kindly
Because we will always remember you two.

[PoeticWitch]

Our society in all its glory
Our society in all its wisdom
Our society in all its assumed intelligence
Has created a monster it cannot fight

Sick?
Don't worry we got a pill for that
In pain?
We got a pill for that too

That pain pill is putting you to sleep?
Here is a pill to keep you awake
Oh that one is upsetting your stomach
Another pill for that

Pill for this
Pill for that
Everything can be fixed by a pill or two or three or four
No these aren't addictive at all

Doctor! Doctor!
It hurts when I do this!
Well don't do that!
Take two pills and call me in the morning

I see the future
Pharmaceutical Companies own the world
Controlling the masses with their little pills
And we just smile and nod

It was a chilly winters night
and frost was glittering on the ground
the evening stars were twinkling bright
and from the gloomy plain around
came no sound

Then there within the wood girt tower
the church bell slowly struck the hour
as if that all of human birth
had risen too the final day

and soaring from the worn out earth
were called in hurry and dismay
so far away

and I alone of all mankind
was left in lonliness behind

[PoeticWitch]

The earth is still frozen
Piles of snow all around
Freezing temperatures still haunt us
Even though it is the end of March

Mother may I ask?
Mother may I plead?
Mother may I beg?
For warmer weather?

I am not asking to be boiled
Nor to be baked
Or even grilled
Just lightly toasted would be lovely

My bones a cold
All the way down to my toes
Mother help me warm them
Before I freeze into living statue

I heard the birds flying over head
They were flying north
I know Spring is coming
But just not fast enough

I see the animals out and about
Their winter cache of food is gone
So they are hunting for the Spring growth
But the ground is still frozen

Trees haven't budded
The grass hasn't sprouted
The ground is brown
Nothing green that I can see

Mother bless us
With Spring Growth
Mother bless us
With Spring Warmth

Time for the cycle of life to move on to the next phase
Time for the tree of life to bloom once again
Time for the season to change
It's Time
